Bring a gift to the table that your family will love to unwrap!
Prep time: 15 min.
Baking time: 30-35 min.
Decoration time: 30 min.
Difficulty: Moderate
What you'll need:
  • 1 bag SNICKERS® Brand Minis
  • 1 bag M&M'S® Brand Milk Chocolate Candies for the Holidays
  • 1 bag STARBURST® Brand Fruit Chews
  • 1 bag MILKY WAY® Brand Milk Chocolate Covered Caramels
  • 1 18.25-oz. box yellow cake mix
  • 1 16-oz. can (plus 1 cup(s)) vanilla frosting
  • 2 8-inch square cake pans
  • Waxed paper
  • Rolling pin
  • Sharp knife
What to do:
  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line the two cake pans with wax paper; grease and flour them.
  2. Roughly chop twenty SNICKERS® Brand Minis; set aside. Prepare the cake mix according to the package directions. Stir the chopped SNICKERS® Brand Minis into the batter before dividing it evenly between the prepared cake pans. Bake for 30 to 35 minutes, or a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Transfer to a wire rack; cool about 10 minutes. Invert and let cool completely.
  3. To make the ribbon pieces, soften twenty red STARBURST® Brand Fruit Chews in the microwave about 3 to 5 seconds. Then roll the softened candy into an 8 x 6-inch rectangle between two sheets of wax paper. Cut the candy lengthwise into two strips, each 1-1/2 inches wide. Fold the two strips in half, making loops of a bow. Notch the bottoms of the two remaining strips, making the bow's ribbons. Set aside.
  4. Place one cake layer on a serving platter. Spread 3/4 of the frosting. Place the remaining cake layer on top and cover with the remaining frosting. Arrange the unwrapped MILKY WAY® Brand Milk Chocolate Covered Caramels around the base of the cake.
  5. Mark the top of the cake with an "X", dividing it evenly between four equal squares. Arrange M&M'S® Brand Milk Chocolate Candies for the Holidays in three rows over the marks, on top and down the sides of the cake. Arrange the bow pieces in the cake's center.
